What are the eagles players doing today?
You guys talk about giants players being overconfident?
How about the douche bag that called the eagles the dream team during the pre-season.

This blog is for winners going to the SB. Go check the blog for my team suck @$$..

Any real Giant fan knows that beating Brady twice in a Super Bowl is no easy task. Lets hope for a great game that is not decided by the refs like the Steelers/seahawks was

How did the 19-0 trademark turnout ?

How about Brady making fun of Plax for saying the pats would only score 17 in 42 ?

But it is a major gaff, kind of funny, and fits in with the Giants’ egos this week. Priceless.

I, for one, am SO tired of New England bending and even breaking the rules that I am pulling for the Giants which is something no Broncos fan would ever consider.

GO GIANTS !!!!!
POUND BRADY INTO THE TURF ALL DAY !!!

I still laugh when I think about all the kids in Nicaragua who got new t-shirts and must have thought “What’s 19-0 mean, and who the hell are the New England Patriots?”
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
They’re more likely wearing their Steelers SB 45 winners shirts right now. But whatever helps you sleep at night.🙄

Obviously this was just a mistake, we know this already NYG fans. We’re mostly laughing at it, not getting really offended. That said, football is a game of emotion and even though players rationally know it’s no big deal, I bet some do get a little more charged up over it. Players listen to music, etc. to get themselves in the right mindframe too. It’s just another thing like that.

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:59:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=222015#comment-1559877This is definitely a bad mistake. We all make mistakes, but some are worse than others.

OK, now I would like everyone to read this. So the Giants have been talking a lot of trash? I’m saying whoever says/said that is full of it. So I challenge ANYONE to show me 5 quotes at least of trash talk from the Giants for this Super Bowl. If they “can’t stop talking” then this should be very easy. I’m waiting. If that’s hard for some reason try the whole play-offs. I’ll be waiting.

“It is common practice for both teams to create web pages in advance of the conference championship games and Super Bowl,” the NFL said in a statement. “In this case, the hidden URL for the page was inadvertently available for a brief period of time while it was being positioned on the NFL server for possible post tomorrow night.”

The result tomorrow will be the same as it was four years ago….Giants win!!

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:04:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=222015#comment-1559753You people aren’t very swift. Haven’t you ever noticed that IMMEDIATELY after conference championship games and the Super Bowl that the winning teams have t-shirts and hats? Haven’t you ever noticed that ESPN, NFL.com, and every other news and sports site have fancy graphics for the winners up IMMEDIATELY after these games?

Do you think they put the graphic designers, printers, and silk screeners to work after the final whistle, only to have finished products to hand out seconds later?

Both the Giants and Patriots, plus ESPN, NFL, SI, all the networks, etc. have graphics made for both teams ready to go with the click of a button. All the shirts, hats, posters, towels, and whatnot have already been made and are sitting around in boxes waiting for the outcome. The ones from the losing team get donated overseas.

You’ll notice right after the game that they’ll have a commercial saying, “Patriots/Giants fans, your team just won the Super Bowl! Spend money on championship stuff.” Do you think they wait until the game is over and scramble to have a commercial made in a minute and a half? They already have both of them made, then they air the one for the winner.

Every sports magazine and every newspaper in the country already have two front pages designed. All the graphics, commercials, and other paraphernalia has already been made and shipped out. Half will be used, half will be destroyed or donated.

What obviously happened here is that someone at the web site crew for Giants.com was supposed to FTP the files to a test server to make sure they would render properly, but instead FTPed the files to the live server.

Both teams have these graphics ready to go so they can put them up immediately following the game.

Duh.

Its called testing out their website in case they do win. They have to change it on notice if they win. I’m sure the patriots website has their images lined up to.

—————————————————-

It’s called preview mode. Whoever tested it made a big gaffe by actually publishing it for the public to see.

The Patriots have the same exact thing ready to go. The only reason this got out is that someone hit the publish button accidentally and someone happened to be online for that quick few seconds. The NFL website has both teams as Super Bowl champs, as does ESPN, Fox Sports, etc. Hundreds of radio stations have spots read yo to and are marked if Giants win or Patriots win.

This story makes what Tom Brady said at the pep rally last week look like Watergate in comparison.

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:22:35 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=222015#comment-1559255Ah, Giants, it makes perfect sense to prepare this new front page to the website beforehand so that you can have it ready to go live as soon as the final whistle blows. It also make sense to upload it and test it.

But as someone who runs a website for an organization, I never upload the page I am testing with the actual name the page will have when it is live. You always use something like ‘testindex’ or hell, use ‘avocado’ or ‘yabbadabbadoo’ or something and then just change the file name when the time comes. The point is, that way only you can see it until it is ready to go live because no one will have that url or filename bookmarked nor with they manually type it in. Basic website management 101.

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:14:38 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=222015#comment-1559230The website probably was just getting a page ready. The article says it was up BRIEFLY so it was probably an accident that they put it up. Every team has shirts and hats and whatever ready. After the championship games each team had shirts and hats with logos stating they are the nfc or afc winner.
